In the morning he arose and went about his work with mouse-like quietness, performing all things thoroughly and well, talking, even laughing, yet with a droop like that of a wounded creature that seeks only to hide and escape. Creede watched him furtively, hung around the house for a while, then strode out to the pasture and caught up his horse.
Some one comes into the studio with a heavier tread than the mouse-like step of Constance the little servant, doubtless; and, without looking round, Felicia says roughly, "Go away! I don't want any one in." "I should have liked to speak to you very much, all the same," says a friendly voice. She starts, sits up.
He says he knows more tomboys and enormous fat women named 'Grace' and 'Lily, and sweet little mouse-like ladies staggering along under a sonorous 'Jerusha Theodosia' or 'Zenobia Jane'; and that if he should name the boys 'Franz' and 'Felix' after Schubert and Mendelssohn as Marie wants to, they'd as likely as not turn out to be men who hated the sound of music and doted on stocks and dry goods."
"No, thank you," said Oswald in calm and mouse-like tones; and to avoid any more jaw he got at once on to the box with Pincher. So that Mrs. Bax was perfectly quiet for the whole six miles unless you count the rattle and shake-up-and-down of the fly. On the box Oswald and Pincher "tasted the sweets of a blissful re-union," like it says in novels.
Zvyerkoff himself did not prepossess one in his favour; his little mouse-like eyes peeped slyly out of a broad, almost square, face; he had a large, prominent nose, with distended nostrils; his close-cropped grey hair stood up like a brush above his scowling brow; his thin lips were for ever twitching and smiling mawkishly. Mr.
So cunning was the handiwork of herself, Withers and Mary that she felt fairly sure that no one had the slightest notion of how this decoration of poppies was accomplished, for Evie had run round her in small mouse-like circles, murmuring to herself: "Very effective idea; is it woven into the cloth, Elizabeth?

She had gone, mouse-like, to her own particular chair while Miriam was hanging up his coat and hat and placing his easy chair near the open fire. He sat down and held his slender hands close to the grateful warmth. "It isn't cold," he said, "and yet I am glad of the fire. To-day is the first day of Spring." "By the almanac?" laughed Barbara.
The mouse-like gnawing at his door continued, the sounds seemingly louder than before. The intruder was evidently gaining courage! Presently the boy leaned out of his window, which was on the third floor of the hotel, and watched the entrance below. There appeared to be a great rush of customers at that time. At least a score of natives passed in at the large door.
And he refused to reply any further, but darted scared glances at the walls as if from one or another of them he expected to see the train-bearer emerge, with his wrinkled flabby face like that of an old maid, his furtive mouse-like trot, and his mysterious, invading hands which had gone expressly to bring the forgotten figs from the pantry and deposit them on the table.
And I won't let you go one step farther. We'll butt right into the barn and sleep in the hay." "But do you think we'd better?" "We will!" The mouse-like Father was a very lion, emboldened by his care for her. He would have faced ten farmers terrible with shot-guns.
